Bernie Sanders' Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas (vice.com)

Wagner James Au, writing for Motherboard (edited and condensed):As Donald Trump continues to ride roughshod over much of the United States, there are multiple reports that Trumps' virtual fans are riding roughshod on Bernie Sanders' unofficial headquarters in Second Life as well. Sanders' spot is in the sim (Second Life region) of Caspoli, with a Bernie 2016 banner that can be seen from satellite. It's a Roman-themed hangout space in a peaceful meadow, where Bernie supporters often gather to share news of their favorite candidate. But lately, the place has been besieged by pro-Trump griefers. [...] During a Bernie rally in Second Life, Sanders support group member Macaria Wind goes on, Trump-supporting demons flew around Bernie's rally, endlessly typing "TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!" into text chat.

Yeah, without some evidence that these are actual Trump supporters (whom I imagine don't envision themselves to be appropriately represented by *demon* avatars), this really smells of a Something Awful-style false flag attack.

But what's left to say about Clinton that we don't already know?

The sentencing.

If I wanted to be mean and hex Bernie's SL presence, swastikas would be the last thing I would put up.

But then, you're not some dickhead 8chan/pol type. They would absolutely throw up swastikas, because they're Trump supporters and neo-nazis (I'm sorry, the new term is "ethno-nationalist")

Not one of them is capable of giving an opinion about Sanders without mentioning that he's Jewish.

Most of what's been pinned on Trump supporters has actually been paid and planted people from the Hillary camp, and in a couple of cases Cruz/"establishment" people.

You are delusional.

How does that picture refute what he says? False flag operations are part and parcel of the looney left. Hell, this just came across the wire today:

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I confess this is one I have a hard time completely dismissing. He's literally pulling the party to pieces, and with his own real competitor (and not even much of that anymore) being a vile sociopathic hard right troll named Ted Cruz, if this wasn't a secret plot to completely fuck over the Republicans, then Hillary Clinton may very well be the luckiest Presidential candidate in modern times.
